Grow bags are great for tomatoes.

Make sure the plants are planted in full sun.

Make sure the seedlings have plenty of light and when they get their first true leaves transplant to a larger pot to grow on. Transplant when the plants are around 15cm tall if they are to be planted outside ensure they have been hardened off and all chance of frost has passed.  

 

Water well before transplanting, tying in the main stem to a cane for support.
